First Ever Poetry Night!! Tuesday, March 3, 2009 at 7 p.m.

A poem begins with a lump in the throat.
		Robert Frost

Yay! The first ever Poetry Night at The English Major Bookstore - I am really excited. This night will include poetry, poetry and more poetry. Is it Open Mike? Yes. Will there actually be a mike? No. I love poetry and I write a little, but I am thinking this Poetry Night might include whatever poetry you want to share, be it yours, others, your favorite poem, perhaps?
I would love it if you could RSVP if you plan on coming as this is the first happening of it's kind at the store and as you may or may not know, the store is not huge. I think I can swing quite a few seats, but not tons. I am a sober person, but figure alcohol would be okay - BYOB sound good?
Yay! I am excited. The store closes at 6, so if we want to start at about 7 or so and go till whenever. Well, maybe not whenever, but until we know longer feel the urge!

Good poetry could not have been otherwise written than it is. The first time you hear it, it sounds rather as if copied out of some invisible tablet in the Eternal mind than as if arbitrarily composed by the poet.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
